6. Maintenance
6.1 Memory Management
Regularly check the available memory on your device. If the memory is full, the recorder will not be able to save new recordings. To free up space:
- Connect the recorder to a computer (Windows or Mac) or a compatible smartphone (Android/iPhone with OTG adapter).
- Transfer important recording files to your computer or cloud storage for backup.
- Delete unwanted files from the recorder.
6.2 Deleting Files on Mac/iPhone
When deleting recording data from the device while connected to an iPhone or Mac, it is crucial to empty the trash bin (or '.Trashes' folder on Mac) after moving files to it. Simply moving files to the trash does not immediately free up storage space on the recorder until the trash is emptied.
6.3 General Care
To ensure the longevity of your device, avoid dropping it or exposing it to water. Improper handling can lead to damage and malfunction.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Recording Issues
- Device not recording: Check if the memory is full. Refer to Section 6.1 for memory management.
- Poor audio quality: Ensure the device is placed within optimal recording range (up to 10m). Avoid placing it in noisy environments if possible.
7.2 Connectivity Issues
- Device not recognized by computer/smartphone: Ensure the USB cable and OTG adapter (if applicable) are securely connected. Try a different USB port or cable.
